Thanks for quick response. I had seen through this link, and some more.
Sorry, I did not mention it in my mail. However, they talk about running a
file server connected to network. Whereas, the network storage drives (from
Seagate or Western Digital) connect to the router - all the hardware is
contained in the disk enclosure itself. I was wondering if I can use the
same.
Looks like I need to use a old desktop as file server if I want to be certain
about storing and accessing my data from any connected devices.
Thanks once again for the help.
